The Infant Hercules is the second demo album by the English progressive rock band, Big Big Train. It was released in 1993.[1]

The name is likely a reference to the quote by William Gladstone, “This remarkable place, the youngest child of England’s enterprise, is an infant, but if an infant, an infant Hercules,” used to describe the English town of Middlesbrough.[2]
